Advice to you Dad!

Some advice for the father is that be cooperative with your spouse because she is going through something you will never have to go through, so try your best to make her feel loved at all times and when you hit a bump in the road, she may have times when she is a little moody, you will just have to get over it. Well, good luck with the baby and I hope that your child is am much as a blessing to you as you were to your parents.
